Hi, Let's say I fix something in trunk (for 2.11) then backport in branches/QA_2_10 (for 2.10.1). Should I mention the fix in both ChangeLogs ? Marc

[Phpmyadmin-devel] [PATCH] Add $cfg['ProtectBinary'] = 'hex' feature
by Kornél Pál 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

Hi, For some toughts about binary field handling of phpMyAdmin see: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1611770&group_id=2… This patch implements a $cfg['ProtectBinary'] = 'hex' setting that makes phpMyAdmin handle BINARY and BLOB fields in hex. Note that I recommend to use the $GLOBALS['cfg']['ProtectBinary'] === 'hex' code paths in common.lib.php anyway instead of using $GLOBALS['cfg']['ProtectBinary'] === 'hex'. If you like this patch please apply it to the SVN otherwise comments are welcome. Kornél

Hi, The "Month Of PHP Bugs" reveals some PHP vulnerabilities. MOPB-02-2007 (PHP Executor Deep Recursion Stack Overflow) uses phpMyAdmin as an example to show a recursion vulnerability in PHP, for which a protection is provided in version 2.10.0.2. More details will follow on phpmyadmin.net, Security section, PMASA-2007-3. Marc Delisle, for the team

I'm not saying that our "if" does not work, I'm saying that I don't see the goal of checking the size of $GLOBALS. Marc
